PK-232 OPERATING MANUAL MAILDROP OPERATION
CHAPTER 5
MAILDROP OPERATION
5.1
Overview of MailDrop Operation
The PK-232's MailDrop is a small, personal mailbox that uses a subset of
the well-known WORLI/WA7MBL packet BBS commands to allow messages to be
automatically sent and received. The MailDrop operates in the Packet,
AMTOR and Pactor modes. When your MailDrop is active, distant stations
can connect to your PK-232, leave messages for you or read messages from
you. If the parameter 3RDPARTY is ON, then any station may leave a
message for any other station.
The MailDrop also supports forwarding and reverse forwarding of Packet
messages if properly coordinated with a local "full service" BBS.
Hierarchical message addressing is now supported to simplify the routing
of both national and international traffic.
5.1.1
RAM Space for Message Storage
Approximately 18K bytes of RAM are available to your MailDrop. RAM space
is dynamically allocated so that it is possible to store as many messages
as you like until all the memory is filled. If all 18K of RAM is used,
the MailDrop displays the message "*** No free memory".
5.1.2
System Commands
MailDrop operation is completely under your "SYSOP” control from your
local terminal or computer keyboard. Only you can start and stop MailDrop
service. The commands shown below provide MailDrop control.
5.1.3
Your MailDrop Callsign
When operating in Packet, your MailDrop can have its own callsign that you
enter with the MYMAIL command. If you do not enter a callsign in MYMAIL,
the MailDrop will use MYCALL when it Is enabled. When operating the
MailDrop in AMTOR, your 4 character MYSELCAL or 7 character MYIDENT is
used and must be entered to access the MailDrop.
5.1.4
Start and Stop MailDrop Operation
Set MAILDROP to ON to start Packet MailDrop operation (default is OFF).
This command activates or deactivates your Packet MailDrop. Set TMAIL ON
to start AMTOR MailDrop operation. Again, the default is OFF.
5.2
Local Logon
Type MDCHECK to verify that you have local control of the MailDrop. You
must not be connected or linked to any other stations to do this.
Once logged on to your MailDrop from your local keyboard, you are shown
the MailDrop prompt as though you were the calling station:
[AEA PK-232M] 18396 free (B,E,K,L,R,S) >
You can now EDIT, KILL, LIST, READ or SEND messages.
